This isn't strictly necessary. If you need a singleton object that
lives for the duration of your app, for example, there's no reason you
can't just alloc/init one and let it go (unless, of course, you're
using garbage collection, in which case it might matter). I can't
imagine a likely scenario for this outside of misapplication of an
idiom, but that doesn't make it illegal to ignore the return value of
-init.
I *think* Stephen meant we should use the value returned by the
initializer as opposed to the value returned by alloc, not as opposed
to ignoring it altogether.
